If you are interested in deepening your knowledge of the ancient roots of yoga, then the Ramayana is an absolute must read. The illustrations are so sweet! Every page is a visual masterpiece full of color, extraordinary detail and humour. Even in its greatly condensed version, the most valued characteristics of virtue, purity and loyalty are proudly displayed by the main characters Rama, Sita and Hanuman in this great Indian legend. In its entirety, the Ramayana is over 24,000 verses long, (far too long for this mama to read at bedtime) so 100 pages of witty text and cool graphics is a much better option. The Ramayana is one of two great Indian epics, the other being the Mahabarata. Patel is an animator for Pixar and his graphic novel adaption of the ancient Hindu epic is utterly captivating.
